So, I informed my bosses at Quick Quotes about my little challenge I posted here on the blog, and they decided to add even more incentive to become a fan of Quick Quotes Scrapbooking Company on Facebook...If we can reach 1,000 fans by the end of the weekend they will give away a free registration to one of our Private Reserve Events....that is a $299 value and could be yours, just for becoming a fan of ours on Facebook...it's a win win if you ask me! Here is an excerpt from an email that went out from our company....

We are putting out a challenge to all of our loyal fans to become a QQ fan on Facebook by the end of the weekend and have a chance to win.

Becoming a fan has great benefits such as early notice on specials and more like winning prizes. I hear one prize might be a Private Reserve ticket to any of our 6 Private Reserves across the country! WOW!

We (my husband and I) do not celebrate Valentines Day. The first year we started dating we celebrated the big day in a big way....I received a box of chocolates, perfume, flowers and a stuffed animal...the only thing missing was jewelry (which was not a big deal at all and came a month later for my birthday!)...as I finished opening everything, Chuck told me to enjoy the gifts because it was the first and last Valentines day that we would be celebrating. He believes it is a Hallmark Holiday and that you shouldn't tell someone you love them and cherish them on one day only...they should be cherished every day of the year...so here we are, almost two decades later and we still do not celebrate Valentines day and sometimes I forget that other people do celebrate the day of Love....and my girls have adopted the same non celebratory attitude, which I feel bad about. SO this year I am going to try and make the big day of love a big deal for them...I am taking my oldest Daughter on a big shopping trip for new clothes (she is 13 after all and nothing is more important than looking good) and for my youngest daughter I am not sure what I am going to do just yet...she is pretty easy to make happy a bag of m&m's and a big hug and she is good to go...I do have a card ready to go though...

Whether you celebrate Valentines day or not, I hope you have a great weekend!

After spending three days in Jamaica, 80 degree weather, beaches and palm trees I had to come home...where there are still beaches and palm trees but instead of 80 degree weather we have 40 degree weather. Which I really am not complaining about because I leave for Portland Oregon on Thursday (and who knows how cold it will be there!). Here are a few photos from my weekend away....Our breakfast view every morning...

The above picture was before...I was extremely nervous and scared and seriously hating my sister..I was sort of at her mercy and had to do what she wanted (she won the trip to Jamaica and took me) which included a Zipline trip...did I mention I have a fear of heights and lack of control...

and this was afterwards...I LOVED IT!~ I cannot wait to go again. If you are ever in Jamaica, this is a must do.

and if you ever do go to Jamaica here are some translations for you...
